Once I get the ssd im planning on reinstalling win 7 x64 on it... Right now I have a wd 1tb hdd with my os on it. Is there any easy way to change my new ssd to c:\ and move the hdd to d:\? (i would assume i just have to change the boot sequence in the bios) If thats all should I just plug in the ssd, reinstall windows onto that drive...AND AFTER THAT change the drive letters???
Also, Do I have to change anything in the bios before I start this baby up? I read somewhere I may have to disconnect my hdd to install win7 x64 on the ssd? Any other tips?

THANKS!
BTW!! BAD COMPANY 2 IS THE MOST BAD ASS GAME IVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME AND IT PUTS COD TO SHAME!!!!

Hey! LTNS! I'm trying to upgrade my computer a bit and am having issues.. I'm not really the one that does this stuff so I'll just copy my LJ post and hope any of you might have an idea or two. Snoogie would post but he's asleep. Work tonight. BLAH. Here goes:

Well between Andy and I (mostly Andy), we finally gave up working on my computer at around 3am. We have NO idea what the issue is but it won't even load windows. We do believe its a memory issue of some sort unless the motherboard is fucked. He did memtests on both sticks and passed, put both into computer in all different possible positions with the 4 slots and we get errors. According to the asus website the memory is compatible. I'll post specs so y'all know what we're trying to do.

ASUS P5P43TD motherboard
nVidia GTS 250 video card
INTEL Socket LGA 775 Quad Core 2.50 Ghz
G.Skill F3-10666CL9D-4GBL 4gb (2x2gb) DDR3 ram

We work night shift for the next 3 nights.. I'd like to work on it again if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks in advance, anything would be helpful right now!
<3

So individually the sticks pass.. put em together and poof. I just don't know where to go from here. Return MB, return RAM or play with settings I know nothing about...

02/14/10 04:07 AM LF: 128MB SDRAM sodimm by LtFransky-TPF-

I've been given an older PII laptop (Win 2K) but I'd like to put some more RAM in it. It needs EDO sdram (66Mhz, but 100 would probably work). If anyone has some laying around, I'd be glad to give it a home.

Thanks

02/13/10 07:43 PM Horus's PC Sell-off! by Horus

So! I'm selling off my current pc. Or selling off parts of it, depending on what has the higher demand. As well as some other things as well!

2x 500gb SATA Hard drives. $30 each

Antec Sonata III case, w/ 500w PSU. $50

Antec P182SE (Stainless Steel outside, w/ 1000w PSU) It's a little well worn, but the internals are immaculate. $70

BFG Geforce 260. Now this was a replacement on an RMA, but it's working just fine, no problems at all. Since I don't have any acessories for it, I'll take $100 for it.

eVGA 680i SE motherboard, Core2Duo 6700+ and 4gb of OCZ DDR2 ram (4x1gb sticks). I'd like to keep this all together. With the current video card, these parts don't flinch playing COD at full settings at 1900x1200. $100 all together.

I'm open to offers on most of the stuff.

02/06/10 10:25 PM Network Hardware suggestions. by Bad Breath

OK, Im rewiring my basement during my renovation for networking... Im looiing for some suggestions for a Gigabit router and an unmanaged switch. I NEED more than 8 ports. Should I buy 2 8s or should I look for a bigger switch. It seems the price more than doubles as soon as you go more than 8 ports....

Steve, Craig, anyone else?

02/05/10 08:22 AM External HD's by Deathwish

Hey guys!

Was wondering what models you folks recommend for external drives as both my mom and dad are wanting to get them.

I've heard a lot of problems with them concerning over heating and so on, and I have never looked into them for myself so am a bit out of the loop...

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

02/05/10 12:10 AM WTF COMP?!?!?! PLS HELP by PuNKeR

Ok, I had the weirdest thing happen to me.

My cpu

Core i7 860
Asrock p55 deluxe board
Corsair XMSBLAHBLAH 8gig
Geforce 285 gtx


So yesterday when I was at work my bother came into my room and saw my comp was on so he put it in 'hibernate or sleep mode' he is not sure which.

fast forward hours later when I get home

NOTHING TURNS ON OR BOOTS UP. No fans... No lights.. I tried un plugging powercords, tried unplugging power supply, I tried clearing cmos, I tried taking the battery out of the mobo....nothing..

On my mobo I have 3 switches.. a clear cmos, power and reset. Normally I have to press my power button 2x for it to turn on. After 1 push these 3 lights on my mobo turn on, then on the second push everything starts to boot. These lights now just blink at all times and thats it.

I have a feeling that either my MOBO or PSU is dead. Any thought ppl?? PLEASE HELP
